The dock workers' unions have called off the first two days of unemployment of the nine planned

The dock workers' unions have called off the first two days of unemployment of the nine planned, that is, those scheduled for March 6 and 8, to encourage the Ministry of Public Works to "leave its closed position" and open a "negotiation real".

Thus, the dockers ask the Department headed by Íñigo de la Serna to open a dialogue table on the amendment of the Decree Law approved by the Government and to be validated by Congress.

To this end, trade unions in the sector (Coordinadora de los Trabajadores del Mar, CC.OO., UGT, CIG and USO) unveil the first two days of the nine-day strike in the ports for the next three weeks.

"With this decision to suspend the strike the first two days the workers show our willingness to dialogue and we hope that it will be matched by the Ministry and by the employer Anesco," said Antolín Goya, leader of the Coordinadora in a statement.

The State Coordinator of Sea Workers (Cetm), the majority union of stevedores, explained today in a statement that the refusal of the PSOE and the other political groups "opens the possibility of a new table of real negotiation for the achievement of a reform Of the stowage model in a consensual way ".

The unions convening the nine days of partial stoppages on alternate days between the 6th and 24th of March, Coordinator, UGT, CCOO, CIG and CGT consider that the opposition of the PSOE "opens a new opportunity for dialogue and negotiation," Also demanded by the other political groups: United We Can-In Comú Can-En Marea, Citizens, IU, EAJ-PNV, ERC, PdCat, Compromis and Canarian Coalition.

WHAT TO DO
The trade union organizations have agreed to suspend the strike calls foreseen for the days indicated, with the intention that a climate of labor standardization "encourages the Ministry of Public Works to leave its closed position and invite the real negotiation, by means of the constitution of a Table of dialogue on the modification of the decree law presented by the Government for its validation ".

According to the unions, the regulations proposed by the government "dispel any possibility of agreement with the companies", as it offers the international financial groups and speculators, top shareholders and owners of the terminals in all Spanish ports, the opportunity to get rid of Their workers in the public purse, as well as precarious employment and working conditions.

Trade union organizations have noted that "there has been no progress" in collective bargaining with companies despite the technical meeting held yesterday afternoon at the headquarters of the ESC and the opening of a formal and ongoing process of dialogue, agreed With the employer Anesco.

The companies do not undertake to keep their port workers in their jobs, nor did they provide the data that they were going to deliver to the trade unions and to the mediator, the president of the ESC, Marcos Peña, to justify the supposed surpluses of the templates in each port.

With the decision to suspend the strike on 6 and 8 March, the workers show their willingness to dialogue and hope that it will be matched by the Ministry of Public Works and by the employers Anesco, said the coordinator of Cetm, Antolín Goya.

In order to avoid the conflict, "it is not possible to ask those dismissed to be reasonable, it is reasonable to guarantee continuity in employment to workers, which is nothing other than labor subrogation established in the Workers' Statute," added .

In its view, the dismissal of dockworkers can not be attributed to the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ), which is, in fact, a "political decision" of Puertos del Estado, ratified by the Minister of Encouragement, Íñigo de la Serna, has concluded Goya.
